A wonderful film about love, spirituality, and loneliness, Wings of Desire is a great work of art. Bruno Ganz gives a typically great and sad-faced performance as an angel who considers leaving his "job" after he falls in love with a human. That description just doesn't do the film justice, however, as one has to sit back and be spellbound by the stunning photography, wonderful acting, and poetic voiceovers. It's a film that really captures Cold War Germany quite well, though it has a resonance that crosses all boundaries, geographical and spiritual.
